Yeah someone with his legend and pedigree usually retire then realize hey i want to fight again then will retire again for good, way too young for his urge for competitive combat to be over no way.

i don't suspect you meant any harm by it. just think about it from @johmal2's point of view and if we're pushing away new members who are trying to get involved on tapology.
also, i think penn is an interesting topic regardless of who started the thread.

Double Rich Franklin
Penn found himself in what could be described as double-Rich Franklin Territory. Having lost to GSP twice already and Edgar twice as well there was really no title in sight. BJ might say it's not about belts and he has had a lot of money for a long time but then again his level of motivation is always a question mark. What left does he really have to prove? But Penn will probably fight again at some point if the right circumstance comes along.
